Yes you are guys, yes you are. 

Look on the bright side, with the Lakers losing Hollinger will probably still have you first tomorrow.   ;D

LOL...Wade trying to put a silver lining on a dark cloud (at the moment).

I was thinking the same thing, then checked, and Denver's now 5-4 as well, but I'm not sure the Heat could beat them at this point. Not that it matters: Wade's mindset right now is clearly at the NIT level and not at the NBA Finals level.

Nice.  I look forward to them being the best 34-28 team in the league too.

I would agree if said overhyped. Most talented maybe but the problem is this is not an individual sport. They all look like individuals in a team game. Not gonna work that way

I agree. The reason the Celtics Big 3 or 4 are doing well is that each skill compliments the others, they can also adapt or adjust their game depending on who's with them on the court.

With the Miami, they're just 3 "one on one" type of players put together and just labelled it a "team". Most of the time, one holds the ball to be effective while the rest just stands and waits to be spoon fed.

Sure talented with those 3 amigos, but as a team, as a whole, Celtics is still way ahead.

The Cowboys are the best 1-7 team in the NFL.

I understand what Wade is trying to do but the fact that he has to say that means his team is having trouble dealing with the constant pressures of the coverage of this team.

Yep they lack the maturity.  But I agree that they are probably the best 5-4 team talent wise.   

I really think they thought that the rest of league would lay down and die for them without a fight.  Its shell shock that they actually have to play and actually have peeps gunning for them.

The refs conspiracy of Stern though did everything they could to help them last night though.  Some of those calls on LeBron and trips to the line were not fouls and clearly was Stern trying to pad his numbers.

Yup.  That Orlando blowout is still going a long way.
